CVD Prevention: Supporting primary care to do things differently webinar series

16 May 2023,
*Please note this is a series of webinars on the third Tuesday of every month. The next webinar is 16 May.*

UCLPartners is providing a series of 1-hour online education sessions for healthcare professionals involved in management of long-term conditions, with a specific focus on cardiovascular disease.

These sessions will provide practical support for implementing the Proactive Care Frameworks and highlight high impact clinical interventions for specific conditions. This series will also identify opportunities to utilise the wider workforce in LTC management and include time for questions and discussion on each topic.

The Proactive Care Frameworks focus on how to do things differently at scale: they enable practices to prioritise clinical activity by stratifying patients who are at highest risk; they deploy the wider workforce to reduce the workload for GPs; and they improve the personalised care offer for patients the webinars will be held on the third Tuesday of the month.
